Deborah Rudell Author

Hi, I’m Deborah Rudell—author of Grit & Grace: The Transformation of a Ship & a Soul. After escaping the collapse of a spiritual commune, I found healing and restoration in the most unexpected place: rebuilding a broken-down schooner on the island of Kauai.  

Through my stories, I share the raw, redemptive journey of what it means to start over, reclaim your voice, and chart a new course with courage.
